Political News and Commentary from the Right

On his radio show January 15, Ed Schultz encouraged Massachusetts voters to “vote 10 times if they could” in order to defeat Republican Scott Brown who’s challenging Democrat Martha Coakley for the Massachusetts Senate seat vacated when long-time Senator Ted “Lady Killer” Kennedy died last year. Referring to Brown and other Republicans as “these Bastards,” Schultz demonstrated the liberal bias prevalent at MSNBC that has led to the left-wing network’s plummeting ratings.

“In (McDonnell’s master’s thesis), he described women having jobs as detrimental to the family, called legalized use of contraception illogical, pushed to make divorce more difficult, and insisted government should favor married couples over, quote, ‘cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators.’ Wow. When did he write this? 1875? No, 1989. Wow, 1989.

“Goodbye, Mr. McDonnell.”

MSNBC, Sept. 22, 2009, Rachel Maddow also on McDonnell:

“And here’s where the conservative movement and the Republican establishment smash into each other like bumper cars without bumpers. Here’s where Republican electoral chances stop being separate from the wild-eyed excesses of the conservative movement.

“Part of watching Republicans try to return to power is watching … the conservative movement eat the Republican Party, eat their electoral chances over and over and over again.”

On election night, conservatives-eating-Republicans resulted in an 18-point landslide for McDonnell, who beat his Democratic opponent 59 percent to 41 percent — winning two-thirds of all independent voters and ending the Democrats’ eight-year reign in the Virginia governor’s office.

Republicans swept all statewide offices for the first time in 12 years, winning the races for lieutenant governor and attorney general, as well as assembly seats, garbage inspector, dog catcher and anything else Virginians could vote for.

UPDATE: 4/12/09

With over 2 million votes, 60% of respondents have graded the Oba-Messiah’s performance a “D” or “F”. The honeymoon is over in cyberspace. Unfortunately, the MSM will likely continue to give preferential coverage for another 4 years in an effort to twist American minds and make them believe they’re better off in the new USSA.

You can still vote here and read the Newsvine discussion of the story here (although it’s pretty much hardline liberals vs. conservatives just exchanging jabs.)

UPDATE: 4/8/09

Almost 1.9 million votes and the percentage of respondents who rate the Oba-Messiah’s performance thus far a failure is still growing on MSNBC’s poll.

I wonder if Chris Matthews still gets that thrill up his leg when he here’s the Oba-Messiah speak…

UPDATE: 4/6/09

Over 1.7 million votes now, MSNBC is still letting it run, and the percentage of respondents who give Obama a failing grade is still increasing.

It’s a good thing the Europeans like him, because he may have to go live with them after we endure four years of his reign!

UPDATE: 4/4/09

I wonder how long it will take MSNBC to take down this poll…over 1.6 million votes cast and 41% are now giving the Oba-Messiah a failing grade! (I guess bad-mouthing America in France didn’t help him here at home.)

A majority of respondents, 54%, grade his performance as President thus far as a D or F.

And remember…this poll is on MSNBC’s website, not NewsMax or Heritage or another hotbed of conservatives. This is the liberals’ safest of safe havens in the media!

Update: MSNBC Poll, 4/4/09

ORIGINAL POST–4/3/09

As of now, with almost 1.5 million votes cast, even on this liberal bastion that is MSNBC, Obama is receiving a failing grade as President. Here’s a screen shot…

To be expected, but revolting nonetheless. Here’s the headline for the story about the Israeli attack on a UN girls’ school in Jebaliyah, Gaza.

Some quotes from the article designed to instill hatred of Israel in readers:

Israeli mortar shells exploded a U.N. school where hundreds of Palestinians had sought refuge on Tuesday, killing at least 36 Palestinians.

The carnage added to a surging civilian toll that has drawn increasingly urgent calls for a halt to Israel’s offensive against Hamas.

The three mortar shells that crashed down on the perimeter of the U.N. school struck at mid-afternoon, when many people in the densely populated camp were out and about. Many of those who took shelter in the school apparently had stepped outside to get some air, thinking an area around a school was safe.

“There’s nowhere safe in Gaza. Everyone here is terrorized and traumatized,” John Ging, head of Gaza operations for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

Whew! If I didn’t know any better (about Israel’s history or MSNBC’s radical left-wing bias) I’d be hating Israel after all of that. Especially when the one paragraph in the first 80% of the article that gives the Israeli side of the story ends with unnamed Palestinian witnesses refuting the IDF account.

Israel’s military said its shelling was a response to mortar fire from within the school, pressing its assertion that Hamas militants are using civilians as cover. Two residents of the area who spoke by telephone to the Associated Press said they saw a handful of militants firing mortar shells from a street near the school.

Even the last part of the article is worded to instill doubt in readers of the Israeli version of events, and the final sentence will boil the blood of the uninformed.

Among the dead were many children whose parents wailed in grief at a hospital filled with dead and wounded. Fifty-five were wounded in the attack, the U.N. said.

Notably missing from the article is the fact that Hamas is known to use UN facilities to escape Israeli fire and those who seek shelter there as human shields. The following video shows Hamas firing rockets from a school in 2007! But a UN official is quoted in the article stating that UN staff “work to prevent militants from entering” the school.

This video was uploaded to YouTube in November, 2007. You’d think MSNBC would have been able to find it and understand the likelihood that the Israeli version is the correct one. Of course, they might have if their agenda wasn’t already designed to demonize Israel and minimize the culpability of the terrorists who intentionally draw Israeli fire to such areas for propaganda value.

I’ve been following developments in this story since it broke this morning, but held off reporting on it to get a more accurate picture. It should be known that virtually every MSM outlet at first ran headlines similar to MSNBC when it first broke. However, many of those other sources have since toned down the obvious anti-Israeli slanted headlines like the one still running on the MSNBC site. CNN is running a much more toned down title, Israel: Hamas mortars prompted attack near U.N. school.
